Caught Between Two Worlds : The Diary of a Lowell Mill Girl, Susan Brown of Epsom, New Hampshire edited by Mary H. Blewett, published by the Lowell Museum Lowell, Massachusetts, 1984. Funded through donations made in memory of John Rogers Flather. 

From the verso: "The diary of Susan Brown is reproduced in its original spelling and punctuation. Material within the brackets has been added by the editor. The small size of the diary and Susan Brown's use of a soft, blunt pencil rendered some of the words illegible. Many of the events and names in the diary were identified in the 1844 Lowell City Directory, the federal manuscript census of population for 1840 and in the January to September 1843 issues of the Lowell Courier. The editor thanks the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts for giving its permission to publish the diary. Thanks also for assistance, support and encouragement from Lewis T. Karabatsos, Robert W. McLeod, Jr., Arthur L. Eno, Jr., Martha Mayo and Ann Robinson, University of Lowell, Helena Wright, the Smithsonian Institution, Maude Salinger, National Park Service, and David Dearborn, New England Genealogical and Historical Society. Thanks to Mary Donovan and Pat Moore of the University of Lowell and Colette Lyons of the Lowell Museum for typing the manuscript and to Walter V. Hickey, Pollard Memorial Library for his generosity. I delivered a public lecture based on the Susan Brown diary to the Lowell Historical Society on March 4, 1980, The publication of this diary is dedicated to Tom Dublin." M.H.B. [Mary H. Blewett."
